The world's 113th-ranked player ruined the rest of the week for Canadian tennis fans, sending‎ Bouchard down in defeat, 6-0, 2-6, 6-0 for Rogers' first win over a top-10 player.

Bouchard, who hadn't played a competitive match since early July’s Wimbledon‎ final, lacked precision for most of the evening.

She failed to win more than two points in any game in the first set and the crowd‎ appeared to have given up on their darling, who had generated so much excitement with a sensational season that's included three Grand Slams semis‎.

But the top-ranked Canadian woman in history did show promise in the second set, jumping on Rogers immediately.
